# Gangs Guide

Gangs are player-created organizations that allow for teamwork, protection, and resource sharing on TrappedMC. This guide covers everything you need to know about creating, joining, and managing gangs.

To create a gang, you'll need:

1. 75,000 illegal money (earned through contraband)
2. A unique gang name

To start a gang:

1. Earn the required illegal money
2. Type /gang create <name> to form your gang
3. Invite other players using /gang invite <player>

If you prefer to join an existing gang:

1. You must receive an invitation from a gang leader or officer
2. Accept the invitation with /gang join <gang name>

Gang leaders and officers have access to various management commands:

• /gang info - View gang statistics and member list
• /gang promote <player> - Promote a member to officer
• /gang demote <player> - Demote an officer to member
• /gang kick <player> - Remove a player from the gang
• /gang chat - Toggle gang-only chat mode
• /gang leave - Leave your current gang (24-hour cooldown applies)
• /gang disband - Permanently dissolve the gang (leader only)

Gangs can be upgraded using illegal money and regular money. Each upgrade has multiple levels with increasing benefits and costs. Some upgrades require your gang to reach specific Gang XP levels before they can be purchased.

Gang XP is gained by doing standard prison progression activities and through PvP. This XP is essential for unlocking higher-tier upgrades.

The primary gang activity is the outpost system:

1. Outposts are strategic locations that can be captured by gangs
2. Controlling an outpost provides buffs and resources to all gang members
3. Outposts can be contested by rival gangs
4. Successfully defending an outpost increases its level and benefits

To capture an outpost:

1. Locate an available or enemy-controlled outpost
2. Stand within the capture zone until the progress bar completes
3. Defend against rival gangs attempting to take it

Gang members benefit from:

1. Shared storage accessible via /gang chest
2. Buffs from controlled outposts
3. Assistance from fellow gang members

Being in a gang accelerates progression:

1. Access to gang-exclusive quests and rewards
2. Shared knowledge and strategies
3. Combined efforts for expensive upgrades
4. Faster resource gathering through cooperation
